Ukrainian-language edition of Tehillim: Psalms by David presented

On March 22 the Ukrainian-language edition of Tehillim: Psalms by David was presented, and our own Archbishop Borys Gudziak wrote the foreword to the book. The presentation took place by ZOOM and was broadcasted on social networks. Notably, it was both interdenominational and interreligious.

The publication contains versions of the psalms in modern Ukrainian along with detailed commentaries by Rabbi Shimshon Raphael Hirsch and reference materials, including an index of correspondence between the titles of the Tanakh and the Bible, a glossary of terms, etc. Rabbi Shimshon Raphael Hirsch was a spiritual leader of Judaism in 19th century Europe and is perhaps the most well-known Jewish commentator of biblical texts in the world. He tried to combine the Jewish tradition with the ideas of his time. Further, he wrote to address not just biblical scholars but also those who doubt the foundations of faith or have lost it entirely.
